It highlights evidence that gaps in child development emerge early and are linked to poverty-related stress, deprived learning environments, unequal community resources, and limited access to quality early childhood services.

What young children learn from the adults who raise and care for them lays the foundation for future social, emotional, language, and cognitive growth. When children do not have these protective relationships and experience the deprivation and high stress levels that often come with poverty, their brains and bodies adapt in ways that can have longterm negative effects. Social and economic inequities within and between communities have profound implications for the health and wellbeing of children and families.  \nChild development is influenced by both access to early childhood services and by the overall conditions and well-being of the family. It is  \nalso influenced by the quality of the relationships children have with parents and in early childhood services. In addition, research shows that intergenerational education affects many areas of children’s lives, and these effects persist over time. Parents’level of educational attainment is the best predictor of economic mobility for their children.1 Similarly, boosting parents’ income is likely to have positive effects on their children, primarily when this boost takes place during early childhood.2 Because health, education, and overall well-being are interrelated in families’ lives, providers of health, education, and social protection services must cooperate to address the risk factors ass","cbCaih1WCk4I5hJl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih1WCk4I5hJl","pdf",534783,"English","# Introduction\n# What is a Whole Family Approach?\n## Family conditions and child development\n## Multi-sector cooperation and sustainability","[{\"question\":\"Why must support start before a baby is born?\",\"answer\":\"Support should begin prenatally and continue through early years because crucial foundations for health, nutrition, and learning experiences are formed early.\"},{\"question\":\"How does poverty affect children’s development over time?\",\"answer\":\"When children lack protective relationships and face deprivation and high stress associated with poverty, their brains and bodies adapt in ways that can produce long-term negative effects.\"},{\"question\":\"What defines a whole family approach?\",\"answer\":\"A whole family approach focuses on the conditions affecting the family and the child’s direct experiences, requiring cooperation across sectors to improve education, health, well-being, and economic stability.\"}]","Breaking the Cycle of Poverty - Whole Family Approach | PDF"]
